Taxing America

While the essays cover topics ranging from federal housing policy to environmental clean-up costs to tax treaty policymaking, the book is held together by a philosophy as simple as it is radical. Economic arrangements contribute significantly to the creation of social hierarchies and the perpetuation of discrimination. Given this reality, Brown and Fellows maintain that the goal of the federal tax law should be social justice and the disruption of discriminatory and exploitive practices.

Summary

Looks at the way the federal government collects its revenue and exposes the bias at the heart of a system which claims to be objective and fair. Gathering together essays whose topics range from federal housing policy to environmental clean-up costs to tax treaty policy making, this title presents a philosophy that is as simple as it is radical.
